Hillary Clinton is running for president. I know it, you know it — and, to borrow from The Kids in the Hall — dogs know it. The first clue might be that she literally has a website called ReadyForHillary.com which she poses the question of whether or not you’re “ready” to pledge to support Hillary for President, not to mention a tour bus with the same messaging. But because candidates can only officially be running for president after they say the words “I am running for president,” like something out of a magical fairy tale story — Hillary Clinton is technically still not running for president.

So on last night’s Daily Show, in which the former First Lady and Secretary of State came on to promote her new book, Hard Choices — Jon Stewart did everything in his power to get her to admit that she was running, including giving her a career aptitude test. In discussing her book, he says:

It’s an incredibly complex and well reasoned eye witness view to the history of those four years, and I think I speak for everybody when I say, no one cares, they just want to know if you’re running for president.

Seriously. CHRIST LADY, JUST F’ING ADMIT IT ALREADY. I think real life politics are more like Veep than we’ll ever really know.

“From time to time there are going to be things that occur that are acts of God that cannot be prevented.” – Perry about the BP oil spill

“I will tell you: It’s three agencies of government, when I get there, that are gone: Commerce, Education and the — what’s the third one there? Let’s see. — OK. So Commerce, Education and the — The third agency of government I would — I would do away with the Education, the — Commerce and — let’s see — I can’t. The third one, I can’t. Sorry. Oops.” – Perry at the Republican Presidential debate

“Those of you that will be 21 by November the 12th, I ask for your support and your vote”
– Perry, forgetting that 18 year olds could vote on November 6th

From being removed from the watergate investigation due to ethics violations, to moving to a state just to have a Senate seat handed to her, to Benghazi, to letting America know how poor she was when she had trouble paying the mortgage on her 2 mansions, she really has done so much to warrant the support of liberals.

Really, her only success has been marrying…and she couldn’t keep her husband happy when it came to that either. Without Bill Clinton, there would never be a Hillary Clinton discussion.

And the made-up scandal you are referring to is Whitewater. That is, unless conservatives are now blaming Democrats for Nixon ordering and covering up the break-in of DNC headquarters. Although, if they are, I can’t say I would be surprised – just a bit shocked it too them so long to do it.

Y’know that speech from Fight Club about how you have to consider the possibility that God hates you? You are America and God is most of the rest of the world. And you know he hates you. No shit there are going to be times where we get attacked. Comes with trying to be a world leading superpower.

July 30, 2004. Tashkent, Uzbekistan. A suicide bomber from the Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan attacks the U.S. Embassy, killing two people.

December 6, 2004. Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. Al-Qaida terrorists storm the U.S. Consulate and occupy the perimeter wall. Nine people are killed.

March 2, 2006. Karachi, Pakistan again. Suicide bomber attacks the U.S. Consulate killing four people, including U.S. diplomat David Foy who was directly targeted by the attackers. (I wonder if Lindsey Graham or Fox News would even recognize the name “David Foy.” This is the third Karachi terrorist attack in four years on what’s considered American soil.)

September 12, 2006. Damascus, Syria. Four armed gunmen shouting “Allahu akbar” storm the U.S. Embassy using grenades, automatic weapons, a car bomb and a truck bomb. Four people are killed, 13 are wounded.

January 12, 2007. Athens, Greece. Members of a Greek terrorist group called the Revolutionary Struggle fire a rocket-propelled grenade at the U.S. Embassy. No fatalities.

March 18, 2008. Sana’a, Yemen. Members of the al-Qaida-linked Islamic Jihad of Yemen fire a mortar at the U.S. Embassy. The shot misses the embassy, but hits nearby school killing two.

July 9, 2008. Istanbul, Turkey. Four armed terrorists attack the U.S. Consulate. Six people are killed.

September 17, 2008. Sana’a, Yemen. Terrorists dressed as military officials attack the U.S. Embassy with an arsenal of weapons including RPGs and detonate two car bombs. Sixteen people are killed, including an American student and her husband (they had been married for three weeks when the attack occurred). This is the second attack on this embassy in seven months.

So, in the 13 instances above, were they all cases of urgent requests for additional security that were denied? In all 13 cases did the administration attempted to blame it on protests instead of admitting that they were terrorists attacking? Trying to cover it up for election-year politics? Sending the Secretary of State to ask “What difference does it make?”.

I’m just asking the experts here. Politicizing death is nothing new, but it seems like comparing them all is a bit overly simplistic.

Officials with the CIA, the State Department and the Pentagon have testified repeatedly before Congress that the statements the White House put out in the first few days about the attack being sparked by the anti-Islam video was directly in keeping with what the CIA told them. (And that story was echoed on the ground in multiple news reports in the American and European press at the same time that said protestors in the street were citing the film too.) Later, when the CIA revised its opinion, the White House did too.

This has been investigated over and over and over again, and the facts hold up. But that’s not going to stop “small government conservatives” from pissing away another $3.3 million dollars investigating it one more time.

No Otto, fuck YOURself, you’ll get more pussy. Piece of shit. What reality do you live in. Fucking close minded liberal with a big keyboard and all the free time to throw your waste around. Must have a union job or something else where you can perform horribly and have security.

Actually Koogler, from the start I tried to have reasonable exchanges on here and Otto and a few other assholes made it very clear they retort with name and being derogatory, and one prick went so far as to try and ruin my career by smearing my character and bashing my films on imdb. I’ve made it a point to give these fuckers the same respect they’ve given me, especially a piece of shit like Otto who posts over 50 times a day on here and lives on-line and clearly lacks real-world experience but loves google searches.
And Otto, I don’t see how that link helps your argument in the least.

She’s educated, experienced in the world of politics, still married to one of the biggest democratic figureheads of our time, looking to better the nation, seemingly not worried about trivial things such as religion in politics. I’m sorry, can you point to someone better because that last batch of clowns the republicans sent after the presidency was laughable.

But I don’t know, maybe I’m weird for not wanting some bible-thumping nut job to run the country and make my life miserable. I’m all for a moderate conservative who has an actual focus and won’t be swayed by the right-wind extremist morons represented by the likes of Rick Perry or Mitt Romney.

Frankly I just want someone who cares about all people equally, not conservative Christian men and then everyone else.

She has a lot of flaws and perhaps too much of a record to run on (she actually voted on things like the last two wars while in the Senate, etc.). She’s got an uphill climb, and national politics are unfairly critical of women.

Sadly, the dude hasn’t a chance in hell. I’d love to see an independent guy with some minor ground swell get to mix it up with the Democrats and Republicans in a fair running for the presidency but he just doesn’t have the money to get the attention needed to compete.

Gary Johnson does not want to be president. If he did he would have run his campaign a lot better last time. He did not have a lot of money but it does not cost a lot of money to just be present. He was not often present.

In 1973 Hillary became a key inside member (along with more than 40 other attorneys) of the House Judiciary Committee’s impeachment inquiry staff, which sought to advance the movement to impeach President Richard Nixon for his role in the Watergate scandal. With single-minded zealotry, Hillary worked on the investigation anywhere from twelve to sixteen hours per day, seven days a week.[7] While preparing the articles of impeachment, however, she was eventually fired from the Committee staff because of her unethical behavior. The Committee’s general counsel and chief of staff, lifelong Democrat Jerry Zeifman, supervised Hillary’s work on the Watergate investigation in 1974 and concluded that she was a “liar” and “an unethical, dishonest lawyer.” Her brief, Zeifman elaborated, was so rife with fraud that she would have been disbarred if she had submitted it to a judge.

Sorry to ruin your day , Otto . I like to bring facts I these political threads to shit on your bullshit . Go ahead and say Obamas presidency has been successful “because the Dow jones is up” so I can get a good laugh again

@trollsoharduniversity Who’s day did you ruin? You didn’t cite any sources whatsoever. You have some sort of indicator for an endnote there but no endnotes at all. Did you copy and paste this from Wikipedia?

Yogi here is the citation “copied and pasted” from this “nutcase blog” . Otto go ahead and disprove these citations, they seem pretty legit. i know how anti legitimate sources you are. Sorry, Not everyone buys your non-cited cooked pie charts about how global warming will make the world end

[18] Cited in David Horowitz and Richard Poe, The Shadow Party, p. 53.

[19] The Wall Street Journal (WSJ) noted that Mrs. Clinton “must have missed the May 2013 Census Bureau study on ‘The Diversifying Electorate—Voting Rates by Race and Hispanic Origin in 2012 (and Other Recent Elections).’” That government report showed that minority voter turnout nationwide had been surging in recent years. Black Americans, for example, had a voter turnout rate of just 53 percent in 1996. But that rate increased in each of the next four presidential elections. Said WSJ:

“In 2012, black turnout as a share of all eligible voters exceeded the turnout of non-Hispanic white voters—66.2% to 64.1%. Nearly five million more African-Americans voted in 2012 (17.8 million) than voted in 2000 (12.9 million). In both 2008 and 2012, black voters even exceeded their share of the eligible black voting age population. In 2012, blacks made up 12.5% of the eligible electorate but 13.4% of those voting.”
“Voters without an ID can get one free at the Department of Motor Vehicles and they can also cast a provisional ballot pending confirmation that they are legally registered,” WSJ also noted, adding that even though Georgia, Indiana, and Tennessee had “some of the strictest voter ID laws of the more than 30 states that have such laws,” black turnout had recently exceeded that of non-Hispanic whites in 2012 in all three states.

Oh, and theres also Vince Foster and whitewater and benghazi, but I guess none of those matter because…. the first 2 happened a while ago and arent really true…. and the second is something only republicans get mad about. Thats what you would say, right Otto and Yogi? I answered your questions for you. If anyone doesnt know about Vince Foster or Whitewater, go ahead and google them and judge that for yourself.

Don’t puff yourself up too much, dickhead. I’ve had this handle since February of 2012. You joined in September of 2013. I verified this fact by looking at our profile pages. GET YOUR OWN HANDLE, DOUCHE.

You’re just so jealous of his #celebritystatus that you researched the and uncovered the secrets of time travel, created a wormhole, and went back in time to started an account before he created his, you dumb liberal! #oops

Johnson just signed on to be an executive with a Colorado weed outfit, so … he’s not running.

Maybe if libertarians actually voted Libertarian, he’d have a chance. But as long as libertarians claim that name so they can sleep at night and just vote for the social conservatism of the Republican Party, they’ll remain a joke.

@Koogler I’m a pragmatic liberal who voted Libertarian in the 2013 VA gubernatorial race and would go back and change my vote for Obama in 2012 if I could. I hadn’t done enough research and thought that Johnson supported that Austrian economics nonsense.

Hey, no one talking about the actual interview. Jon tried real hard to get her to say something critical about the Isreali government, but the most he got was a suggestion that Ehud Barak was easier to work with.
Nicely done, Hildog.

She’s learned a lot about giving opinions or making stands in front of a camera. The best way to run for president is with no record and no strong stands for or against pretty much anything. Except for opposing the last president. Now all she needs is some catchy phrases or even words that look good on posters in red, white and blue.
